This Stat Proves There's No Doubt That Chase Daniel Is Living The American Dream

Look at that again and tell me Chase Daniel isn't living the American Dream. In fact it's not even NFL. We can go back to college. Chase Daniel was the starting quarterback at a major conference football school. Not only was he the starting quarterback he was damn good. Ho hum throwing for 28+ touchdowns for three years at Mizzou. Ho hum Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. He was even a finalist for the Heisman! That alone is basically 99% of football player's dreams. Not a bad life on that alone.

But then Chase took it to another stratosphere. Who cares that he didn't get drafted? You know why? Because he's made $43 MILLION for being a backup quarterback. This is what got him $43 million: 

It's not like he doesn't try. It's not like he does 1 show a week and then calls it quits. He's quite literally doing his job. He's putting in the 15 blogs a week by going to practice. He's putting in the 15 blogs a week by being prepared on the sidelines. You see how quick he had his helmet on and ready to get into the huddle after Herbert took that hit last night? That's preparation. 

It just proves that everyone has different jobs. Some are bloggers. Some are podcasters. Some are accountants. Some are backup quarterbacks. That's the career for Chase Daniel and he's living the American Dream. He's getting paid a ridiculous amount of money to not take hits, hang out with Justin Herbert and get some passes in with the fellas. How many would trade for that life right now? Sure he took hits at Mizzou and throughout 71 games, but 99% of us? That might be an undersell. 

Oh that not enough? Dude was also a Texas state champion for high school football. Watch Friday Night Lights for me one time and you know that's the ultimate high school football dream. If you're going to be a high school legend that's the spot, especially Southlake Carroll. Same place that produced guys like Quinn Ewers, Kenny Hill and Gregg McElroy. Pretty good! 

I don't care what anyone says, this is the American Dream. Just an unbelievable football life.
